S3 RATED SAFETY FOOTWEAR

When it comes to ensuring the safety and protection of your feet in hazardous environments, it's crucial to choose the right safety footwear. 

To help you make an informed decision, understanding safety footwear standards and the EN symbols associated with them is essential. 

EN ISO 20345:2011 Safety Footwear

This standard applies to safety footwear that provides protection against impacts, punctures, and various other hazards. 

Footwear meeting this standard is classified into different safety categories, each denoted by a specific code.

This category features S3 Rated Safety Footwear only.

SB: Basic Safety Footwear: Provides toe protection against impacts up to 200 joules and compression up to 15,000 newtons.

S1: Safety Footwear: Similar to SB, with the addition of antistatic properties and energy absorption in the heel region.

S2: Safety Footwear with Water Resistance: Offers all the characteristics of S1, plus resistance to water penetration.

S3: Safety Footwear with Enhanced Water Resistance and Penetration Resistance: Combines the features of S2 with increased penetration resistance and additional protection against the risks posed by sharp objects.

Additional Symbols

In addition to the primary EN symbols, supplementary symbols provide information about additional features and properties of safety footwear. 

Some commonly used symbols include:

• E: Indicates that the footwear complies with the standards for energy absorption in the heel region.
